JEROBOAM’S IDOLATRY.
The genesis of a new empire is always
fascinating, but a special interest attaches
to the rise of the kingdom of Israel. The
cleavage between Ephraim and Judah
seemed inevitable. It was postponed by
the statesmanship of David, but it began
under the abuses of Solomon, and was
precipitated by the insolent incompetence
of Rehoboam. In point of territory the
new kingdom included the ten tribes with
the tributary portions of Moab, Syria, and
Ammon. The population is believed to
have been not far from three and one-half
million. The country was marked for fer-
tility and studded with places sacred in
Hebrew annals. It was more exposed
than Judah, but survived for three centu-
ries, finally falling under the Assyrian in-
vasion. ¥
The first king of the new nation,
Jeroboam, was a man of brilliant genius.
His specialty was military architecture.
Solomon discovered his marked ability and
employed him in the fortification of Jeru-
| salem, so that he came to be known as the
| ‘man who inclosed the city of David.”
| Solomon afterward feared him as a rival
; and caused his exile to Egypt, where the
, reigning Pharoali probably used his tal-
| ents in thesame way and regretfully al-
; lowed him to return to his native land.
Over against the dreary incompetence of
Rehoboam, the practical and forceful spirit
of Jeroboam appears to the best advan-
tage. The moment he took up the scepter
ER HRERESEEEEEEHREEEEEEELE:L
he began the fortification of the key cities
of Shechem, Terzah, and Penuel, well
earning the title of ‘‘fortress-builder - of
-Israel.”’ :
A pathetic incident shows the human
side of this rugged warrior, and links these
scenes of a dim antiquity with the exper-
iences of to-day. Is is the story of the sick
child and the mother’s hasty visit to the
blind prophet; his harrowing answer and
the child’s death as the mother puts her
foot on the threshold.
There is a dash of color, too, in the in-
cident which records the prophet Ahijah
as lying in wait for Jeroboam while he
was still in the employ of Solomon. The
seer pulls nim aside from the black-paved
road running out of Jerusalem. They
stand alone in a sheltered spot. Without
a word the prophet pulls off his own new
robe and tears it into twelve strips, keep-
ing two and giving ten to Jeroboam. By
this speaking sign he knows he is to have
ten tribes for his kingdom.
But the most significant incident
is that which Jeroboam took to ali-
enate his subjects permanently from Jerus-
alem. Humanly speaking it was imperative
that he should take steps to preserve the
autonomy of the new kingdom. The thing
most threatening to this was the rule of the
Hebrew religion which required the pres-
ence of every male three times a year in
the temple. It was evident that if the
new kingdoms were to be kept separate
politically, they must first be separated
religiously. No one can dispute the clev-
erness of Jeroboam’s device. He set up
symbols of religion at the most sacred
shrines within his own territory which
happened also to be most conveniently
located. He excused his subjects from
the long and expensive journeys to Jeru-
salem, In the place of the Levites who
had deserted to Judah, he created a new
priesthood in which all sections and classes
were represented.
As a pure piece of statescraft this was a
master stroke. It confirmed the separa-
tion of the two kingdoms for all time.
Without it, to all human appearances,
Israel would ultimately have been reab-
sorbed by Judah. By this device Jero-
boam butressed his throne and perpetuated
his dynasty, and for doing so current opin-
ion woulc certainly commend him,
But this whole transaction must be view-
ed from a stand-point absolutely extra-
ordinary. 1f the supernatural elements
of Hebrew history are admitted, then
Jeroboam was at fault in throwing him-
self dead against the fundamental princi-
ples of the Mosaic law and ritual. He
carried his worldly policy into a sacred
realm and poisoned the stream of national
life in ita very fountain.
THE TEACHER'S LANTERN.
The key to Jeroboam’s character is found
in the word ‘‘policy.’” He allowed it to
carry him too far when he set aside the
fundamental principles of the Mosaic law
and worship. :
* * * * *
‘‘Who made Israel to sin,”’ is a menac-
ing refrain repeated twenty-three times
concerning the successive kings of the
Northern kingdom. The few interruptions
to the dolorous monotony are greeted with
pleasure.
* * * * *
To the Oriental mind a young bull" is
the symbol of creative energy or power to
bring into being. For this reason it was
adopted to represent the Deity. By this
means Jeroboam wished the people to keep
God in mind while they omitted their pil-
grimages to the temple at Jerusalem. He
Get, Ready
For the Glorious 4th.
broke the second commandment in his ef-
fort to keep the first.
* * * * *
In order still more completely to break
with the ritual of Judab, he changed the
harvest feast from the seventh to the eighth
month. A modern analogy is found in the
attempted abolition of the seven-day nota-
tion in order to obliterate Sunday—a deci-
mal system being substituted. This was
done by the French Revolusionist.
* * * * *
A wrong sense is conveyed in the au-
thorized version of the translation ‘‘he
made priests of the lowest of the people.”
He did not elevate ‘Tom, Dick, and
Harry’’ to the priesthood. He was too
shrewd for that. What he really did was
to butress his throne by chosing for eccles-
iastical order ‘‘from among all the people’
(as in the Revised Version); that is, ca-
pable men wherever he found them.
* * * * *
The Levites living in Israel showed
themselves self-respecting men. They
curried no favor. With one accord they
surrendered their livings and made an ex-
odus to Judah. A modern analogy to
this is found in the Scotch clergy. The
losssustained by Israel was very great. Is
was like the exodus of the Huguenots from
France.
* * * * *
The stories of ‘‘the Palsied Hand,’ the
‘‘Rent Altar,’’ and the‘‘Lapsed Prophet,’’
which cluster here, are vivid, and each has
a moral. They are well worth repeating.
Lynched Woman,
Maria Thompson, a negress, was hanged
to a tree by a moh at Lebanon Junction
Ky., on Wednesday. The rope broke and
she fell to the ground, and starting to flee
was shot. Her condition is critical.
Maria Thompson murdered John
Irwin,a farmer, living at Lebanon Junction
on Tuesday. Mr. Irwin had loaned a pair of
pliers, to a son of Mrs. Thompson, and
when the son failed to return the pliers,
the farmer lectured him harshly for negli-
gence. The lad told his mother, who
taking a razor went to Mr. Irwin’s home.
She found Mr. Irwin in his melon patch
working among the vines and cut his throat
with the razor.
The woman, who weighs 250 pounds,
was brought to Lebanon Junction on Tues-
day night, and at half past 2 o’clock on
Wednesday morning a mob of farmers ap-
peared. Breaking into the jail the farmers
took the woman out, dragged her to a tree,
and hanged her. Her great weight broke
the rope and she started to run. Half a
dozen men opened fire on her with revol-
vers and she fell with three bullets in her
back. Believing her dead, the mob fled,
for they knew the noise would arouse the
town, the residents of which are almost
exclusively railroad employes.
Leaders of the mob are said to have been
identified, and it is believed Judge Carroll
will bring the matter to the attention of
the Ballet county grand jory. The
sheriff and marshal of Shepherdsville ar-
rived at Lebanon Junction at midnight
with an order from County Judge Daniels
to remove the woman to Shepherdsville.
It is said that when they went to the
locknp to secure the woman they were
tnrned back at the pistol point.

Exchange of Pollen.
The plant breeder of the present day works
with a great deal of certainty. He never
depends on the vagaries of the wind for
the pollination of his plants, and the ab-
sence in the neighborhood of plants possess-
ing desirable characteristics is no bar to
bis operations. If he lives in Maine and
he wishes the pollen of plants groWing
only in California he has his representative
ship bim the desired pollen, which be
utilizes at the proper season. An instabce
of this class of field work is reported in the
transactions of the Iowa Horticultural
Society. = A plant-breeder in Iowa wished
to fertilize some Keiffer pear blossoms with
the pollen of winter Nellis pears growing
in California. The pollen was collected,
spread out on unprinted paper immediately
and placed in a darkened corner of a room
near a stove, where it was left until fally
ripened and dried. This required about
35 hours. It was then placed in envelopes
to exclude the air and shipped to Iowa,
where it was used some 30 days later with
entire success. Asa matter of fact, the
blossoms so fertilized were the only ones
that matured fruit during the season.
